Course Overview

In a classroom filled with bright and curious students, there’s often at least one who you see has incredible potential, yet they’re just not quite hitting the mark. They might seem disengaged, maybe even a bit withdrawn, and despite your best efforts and all the learning support you provide, it’s tough to pinpoint exactly what’s holding them back. It can feel frustrating as you know they’re capable of more with the right support.

Identifying underachievement in gifted students isn’t always straightforward. When these students struggle, it’s often not because they lack ability but because there are obstacles in their path that need to be recognised. These can be social, emotional, and academic factors that can create a whole host of challenges.

Of course, it’s not just about understanding the problem, it’s about finding solutions. This course will equip you with practical strategies to provide your students with the additional learning support they need to thrive. You’ll learn how to motivate and involve them in ways that resonate, helping them to overcome the barriers that are holding them back. The skills you build here could be the key to unlocking a student’s true potential, transforming their educational experience, and yours as well!
